This invention relates to improvements in bottle-washing apparatus, it'being a primary object of the invention to provide an economical, portable apparatus intended particularly for domestic use.

I It is a further object to provide a more perfectly operating deviceof this character.

More specifically the invention contemplates a rigid supporting and liquid-supplying structure which can be connected directly to a faucet andwhich is provided with means for engagementby a bottle or other article to be washed so that by means of a slight pressure upon the bottle or other article itself the cleansing fluid may be sup plied to the interiorof the bottle.

7 These and other objectswill appear more fully from the following description when; considered in connection with the drawings in which:

Fig. 1 1s a Vertical sectlonal view of the apparatus in its operative positlon.

Fig. 2 is a similar view of a portion of the, apparatus showing the closure means closed position. Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view taken on the line 33 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 4. is a front elevation (partly in section) of a portion of the device.

Referring in detail to the drawings: 1 indicates a goose-neck shaped ri id sup pling 3 whereby the coupling may be screwed on any conventional form of spigot without rotating the pipe 1. The coupling 3 prefer-. ably carries a compressible washer 5 whereby a close and water-tight connection between the parts may be obtained. The other open, end of the pipe 1 extends upwardly into a:

of ithe nipple forming enlargementofthe head 6; thus providing a detachable and convenient connection between the head 6 and GOODS MFG. co orpipe lf This readily detachable ,coiinection between the two p'arts ofthe device pro-' vides'for their easy and convenient cleansing and shipping. The body, fi-interfits with' a head 10 with which it preferably telescopes and to which it is attachedin any desirable manner, both-partspreferably being formed of sheet metal.

The head 10 is forined witli a neck 11' slidably receiving therein a discharge'tube 12. i v. t The lower end or Sitld tube 1s provlded w th a closing plug 13' carrying a rubber gasket "ll adapted to be conipr essed'againstj the in- I .ner wall of thehead 10"by th e action of a spring 15- Said spring engages the lower side of the 'plugnl3 and the inner walloff the body 6 at or adjacent its lower end whereby the discharge tube12 is normally held in closed position within the neck 11 or that -shownin Fig; 2. Adj acent its'lower end the discharge tube '12 isprovided with a 'plurality of openings '16 which are normally closed by the neck llwhen the tube is 1111101- malfl or raised position. The dischargeftube also carries a pin 17 preferablyextending therethrough' and providing a suitable rest f for engagement by the neck of the bottle 18 as shown'in Fig. 1" whereby theitube will exof the bottle". p l

The operation of the device will readily be understood from theab'ove description. It will befobv'ious'. that when the coupling 3 tend a substantial distance into the interior is screwed onto the spigot 4 and water or other liquid is supplied to the pipe 1 under pressure the liquid will be forced up into the body 6. Whenthe bottleneck 18 has. been introduced over the rest or pin 17 pressure upon .the bottle will cause the lower end of the tube 12 and its plug 13 to move downwardly within the bodyv 6 against the action of the spring 15 whereby the openings 16 will be uncovered. The water or other liquid-under pressure will then flow through the openings 16 and'upwardly through the dischargetube 12 and into the bottle 18 to cleanse the same. When pressure upon the 3 thereof, which may be easily and cheaply Q operate satisfactorily for its intended purrest or pin 17 has been released by removal of the bottle 18 or otherwise the spring 15 together with the pressure of the water with in the body 6 will automatically cause the tube 12 to move upwardly into normal position to close the openings 16 as previously described; 7 r

i The same connection'or nipple on the lower end of the portion 6 of the head and which i is slotted as at 9 enables the apparatus 6,

10, 12, etc. to be used on the pipe 1 as in Fig. 7

1 or to be separated therefrom, inverted and used with a hose or otherwise in filling bottles I as will be readily understood.

It will be seen from the above ratus which may be economically constructed of sheet metal in practically all the parts manufacturedand shippedand which will pose. 7

What I claim asmy invention is:

1. In a bottle-washing apparatus, a hollow' body compo'sedof a plurality of sheet metal members each having similarly constructed enlarged head forming portions telescoped and held in secure frictional engagement throughout said enlarged portions, one of said members including an elongated bearing portion, a discharge tube slidably received lwithin saidbearing portion and formed with a plug co-actingwith said body when said tube is moved outwardly therefrom for clos ing off said body from said tube, and spring- 7 means for normally maintaining the parts V in closed position.

2; In a bottle-washing apparatus, a supply pipe, a coupling attached to one end thereof, a hollow body received by the other end of said pipe and provided with a notch in the lower wall thereof, a pin on said ipe for en V, tering said notch whereby said bo y and pipe 1 may be detachably connected together, a

spring-pressed discharge tube received I by said body. and bottle-recelvrng means carried by said discharge tube.
